Rally nice meal and drinks before we went to The Dome. The bar is well stocked and there is a great cocktail menu and the drinks were made well. The food was good value for money, prepared really well and brought out quickly. The service was the highlight - just very nice and friendly people who really did a good job of making us feel like they were invested in us having a positive experience. First visit and we’ll come back for sure.
